Showers overnight and this morning delivered about a half inch of rain to the Sacramento region.
The rain caused spinouts on the freeway and puddles to form on surface streets where drains clogged with leaves. Rain fell on ground already sodden from last week's deluge.
Rainfall totals as of 6 a.m.: .51 of an inch in Sacramento, .27 in Elk Grove, .59 in Rancho Cordova, .67 in Fair Oaks, .55 in Rio Linda, .75 at Folsom Lake and .75 in Loomis.
The warm storm is not as strong as those over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. Look for clearing skies on Thursday.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
